Based on the real life story of Shergar, a Derby winning race horse stolen
in 1983, by IRA terrorists. In the film the plot was lead and carried out
by Gavin O'Rourke and Dermot Concannon who bring the horse to the farm of
IRA sympathiser Eammon Garritty. There Kevin Doherty, a stable boy who
ran away from reform school, takes care of the horse. Kevin is the
orphaned son of a jockey, who dreams of being like his father was. Sadly
the Irish Authorities refuse to pay the 5 million ransom for the horse
and Shergar is faced with being shot till Kevin races him away to safety.
Now on the run, Kevin disguises the horse and lays low with some new
friends, while the terrorists are hot on his heels.
